CURTAIN ROD HOLDER Filed Jan. 50, 1934 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Inventm Attorney Patented Apr. 24, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.

This invention relates to a curtain rod holder, the general object of the invention being to provide a holder which is so formed that it will be held in place by a shade roller bracket, thus eliminating the use of screws, nails or the like for fastening the holder to the window frame and thus avoiding marring of the frame.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in WhiChZ- Figure 1 is a view of the upper part of a window, showing the invention supported thereon by the shade roller brackets.

Figure 2 is a view of the blank from which the device is formed.

Figure 3 is a face view of the device.

Figure 4 is an edge view thereof.

Figure 5 is a top plan view thereof.

Figure 6 is a side view showing how the invention engages a shade roller bracket.

Figure 7 is a side view, with parts in section, showing how the device supports an end of a curtain rod.

In these drawings, the letter A indicates the blank from which the device is formed and this blank provides the base part 1 having the upper and lower pairs of tongues 2 extending therefrom and the part 3 which extends from one side edge of the part 1 and is formed with the projection 4 and the diagonally arranged part 5. The part 4 is provided with the notch 6 which extends upwardly from the lower edge of the part 1 and the part 3 is bent at right angles on the line 7, while the part 5 is bent twice on the lines 8, so that this part 5 extends upwardly from the bottom of the part 3 and is spaced from said part, as shown in Figures 3, 5 and 6. The corner 9 of the part 5 is bent slightly outwardly, as shown.

The upper tongues 2 are bent twice at right angles so that their extremities extend upwardly and the lower tongues are bent twice at right angles so that their inner portions are spaced from the base 1 and then each lower tongue is bent outwardly to provide a horizontally and outwardly extending part.

The device is slipped over a shade holder bracket B as shown in dotted lines in Figure 6, with the outwardly extending part of the bracket extending between the parts 4 and 5 and with the notch 6 in the part 4 having the roller trunnion a passing therethrough so that the device is held in place simply by the bracket. The bent corner part 9 facilitates the placing of the device on the bracket and an end of the curtain rod B will engage the upper and lower tongues 2, as shown in Figure 7, though it will, of course, be understood that different kinds of curtain rods can be used with the device and connected with the tongues 2 in various ways.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What is claimed is:-

1. A curtain rod holder comprising a base resting against a part of a frame, an outwardly extending part having a notch in its outer end through which a trunnion of a shade roller passes, and a bent portion on the outwardly extending part forming a space between itself and said part for receiving a portion of the outwardly extending part of a shade roller bracket, and curtain rod 35 engaging members on the base.

2. A curtain rod holder comprising a base for resting against a part of a frame, bent fingers on the base for engaging portions of an end of a curtain rod, an outwardly extending part con- 99 nected to one side edge of the base and having a notch in its outer end through which passes a trunnion of a shade roller, said outwardly extending part having a projection thereon bent to form a space between itself and the outwardly extending part to receive a portion of an outwardly extending part of a shade roller bracket.
